Fit In Five Steps

How to replace an AMC Eagle Evo & Revtech Air Filter?

1.Buy Your Air Filter

Most air filters are pretty cheap. Between $10-$13. Swing by an auto parts store after work or pick an air filter up while you’re grocery shopping at a Super Walmart. Figuring out what air filter to get in your car is easy. First, you can check your owner’s manual, but let’s face it, you’ll probably forget to do that. Lucky for you, places that sell air filters have this tattered phone book-looking thing hanging off a shelf. It’s literally the phone book for auto parts. You just look up the year, make, and model of your car, and it tells you what parts you need for it. If your auto parts store is really fancy, they’ll have a crappy Speak & Spell-like computer that you can use. But it’s usually busted, so you’ll probably just end up using the book.

2.Open Your Hood (bonnet) and Locate the Air Filter Box

Secure your vehicle. Disconnect the battery. Open your bonnet and Locate the air filter. It’s the black plastic box sitting on top of or to the side of your engine. The filter box usually has a giant hose sticking out of its side.

3.Open the Air Filter Box and Remove the Dirty Air Filter

Opening an air filter box is a cinch. Just unclasp the big metal clips that hold the top down and open the box. Remove the dirty filter.

4.Check the Old Air Filter

Clean the air filter if required, Check for preparation for New Air Filter Installation. Check the filter regularly to keep your car breathing at maximum efficiency by keeping the dust-out.

5.Put in the New Air Filter

Place your filter in the filter box. Make sure it sits snuggly in the box. Close the top of the box and snap the clips. Reconnect the battery and close the bonnet.
